Well, it happened. Our little princess turned one. She's no longer a tiny baby. She is on the brink of toddlerhood. Smart. Funny. Expressive. Unique. Ridiculously adorable. That is our Audrey. (A bit much?) ;) Audrey is surprisingly picky for her young age. When she is done eating, or doesn't like something, she'll look you straight in the eyes and drop it on the floor. She even has a fairly powerful backward throw. She is very selective about what books she will allow you the privilege of reading, and her preferences change often. If you select a book she doesn't like she'll twist to the right as if she doesn't even want to look at it. If you show her an acceptable book she'll settle back into your lap and allow you too read it with her very Audrey cooing sound.
Here are pictures from her birthday. Mike had drill and I did a half marathon in the morning, so Audrey got to spend most of the day in her pajamas.
On Sunday she wore her birthday dress and Sarah and I attempted to take some pictures of her. We realized a book in hand was a necessity. Sarah has a matching skirt and shirt, but Audrey wasn't in the mood to pose.
That evening we had Audrey's birthday dinner. I made enchiladas because the girl LOVES beans. They were a big, messy hit. Sarah gave her a tattoo crown. I guess it's a step up from eyebrows.
Our friend/neighbor Anna Lloyd made these two beautiful cakes for Audrey. They were almost too pretty to cut and they taste as good as they look. Audrey wasn't sure how to devour a giant cake, so her brothers lovingly showed her how.
Sarah won the sweet sister award by buying Audrey gifts. She bought the stuffed porcupine when we went to Mesa Verde and also bought her the Tiny Caterpillar book, which is one of her new favorite books. (Until she decides it isn't, and then we won't be allowed to read it to her.
Audrey's one year stats are:18 lbs 8 oz (5%), 29.5 in (56%), 18.9 in head (98%). (She has to hold all her big brains)
